Cab Driver Beaten To Death Over Parking Place

A 49 years old taxi driver from Bucharest was beaten to death by an 22 years old driver, Wednesday night, in a row over a parking place. The young man was trying to park his car in a relatively crowded zone in the Romanian capital. The taxi driver reportedly started to honk at him aggressively, trying to prompt him to speed up. According to the eye witnesses, the suspect was so annoyed by the honking that he got out of his car and started to hit the cab driver.

The man went into cardiac arrest immediately. Several other taxi drivers called in the ambulance, but medics could do nothing to save the man’s life. The suspect is now in custody and faces a term of 10 years in prison for battery with lethal consequences.
